Every year many young people leave school for a few weeks or months and enjoy an unusual type of educational program. They learn new skills by living in a different country and doing unusual jobs. There are several organizations. They help students to find the experience they are looking for. The table below shows a few possibilities for students.

One interesting possibility is helping elephants in Thailand. Most people think o elephants as animals in zoos. In fact, many elephants in Thailand are no longer kept in cages. Now, hundreds of them are homeless. They don’t have owners to care for them. Although they may look well, they are often in poor health and don’t have enough to eat.

One centre in Thailand cares for these elephants. It gives them a safe and natural living space. When they  are at the centre, they stay in a building but are free to walk around. Students come from all over the world to help here. The student helpers work with the elephant keepers. These keepers train the students in caring for the elephants. In the morning, they go to the forest together and lead the elephants to the centre. They clean them and give them food. In the afternoon, they take the animals back into the forest for the night. Helping at the center is interesting and the young people learn a lot.

任务型阅读  请根据材料内容，按照要求完成各题。（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

In real life, all of us have friends. We can talk to them, play and go to the cinema with them. (1) But we know that not all of them are real good friends, because simply “A friend in need is a friend indeed”.

But why are they still our friends? (2) In every one of us there is a ______ need to have friends and not to live ______ in this world. This need makes us get along with the others. On the other hand, this need keeps us searching everywhere to find new friends. But when we have found one, some time later we realize that he or she is not what we are looking for.

    Everybody knows how to become a friend, but not all of them know how to become a good friend, because they don’t know what a good friend means. Some of us want to have friends just to make themselves happy, or maybe get something from others. He or she is not thinking about the others or what makes them happy. He or she is a selfish person.

    Someone knows the meaning of good friendship. Someone knows how to be loyal(忠诚的) to someone, how to take care of him, and how to love him, as he is a very important person in his life. Unluckily, not everyone on the Internet wants to be a good friend as what is happening in real life. They are looking for friends, just to prove that they have a lot of friends.

    About me, I’m not interested in numbers. Because I learned from the life: “Finding a real good friend is not an easy task”.
